Education has been a passion of Emma’s throughout her life. Emma attended the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and majored in Urban Education. Upon graduation, she began teaching 1st grade at HOPE Caritas. Emma always had a strong focus on academic data in her classroom. She used her student’s standardized assessment scores to inform her data-driven instruction in both whole group and small group settings. Emma was recognized by the network for her student’s outstanding MAP scores, and teachers from other schools came to observe her classroom. After excelling as a first-grade teacher for 6.5 years, Emma was promoted to the Elementary Dean of Instruction role at HOPE Caritas. Emma works to ensure the elementary teachers in the building feel supported and valued; Emma is enjoying her role in helping other teachers learn and grow to ensure their students have excellent academic outcomes. As one of the staff members who has been at HOPE Caritas the longest, Emma is full of knowledge and fun facts that she loves to share with other staff members. Emma’s passion for education and putting students first is truly evident in everything she does.
